@fasquardon I wasn't saying that you said that Dravidian wasn't valid, rather that there may be a valid side that the IVC is a Dravidian civilization.
For example, historians discovery of stone celts with Indus symbols has been linked as an identifier while several linguists like Knorosov, Heras, and others have identified numerous linguistic links between Proto-Dravidian languages and the Indus Valley civilization. There is enough sizeable evidence in academia, I would argue to acknowledge one side that the Proto-Dravidians share a connected history with IVC. It certainly supports the genetic migrations. Many historians and antrhopologists have argued that with the collapse of the IVC with drought, the ongoing spread of IVC culture to the surrounding subcontinent provided the linguistic development that would later lead to the Dravidian language family, while the Indo-Gangetic Plain would later sanskritize.
I need to clarify that I am by no means an expert, but just a person who has done some research on the internet. I want to thank you for your comments that have brought to my attention new understandings of Dravidian history.
